Tbilisi airport (TBS) at night: how to get to the city
Easiest: a car door to door: from $40 (per car, not per person)
Tbilisi airport is about 17 km from the city centre — 25–35 minutes by car at night. Bus 337 to Freedom Square and Station Square has a published timetable of 06:59–22:59 and costs 1 GEL by bank card, so after about 23:00 your choice is a ride-hailing app or a pre-booked car. Landing between midnight and 6 am is common, so plan the night ride in advance. Our driver meets you with a name sign: a sedan to any Tbilisi address is $40 per car, plus $10 for pickups 23:00–06:00. Checked 27 October 2026. Checked by the RideGE team on .

How do I get from the airport to the city at night?
The airport works around the clock, but public transport does not. Compare the options:
| Way | When | Price | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bus 337 | 06:59–22:59 timetable | 1 GEL (bank card) | to Freedom Square and Station Square |
| Ride-hailing app | 24 h | varies — check in the app | driver may not help with luggage; no name sign |
| Our car | 24 h | from $40 per car (+$10 at night) | name sign, flight tracking, child seats free |
What if my flight is delayed?
We track the flight number: 60 minutes of free waiting start when the plane actually lands, so a delay or a slow passport queue costs nothing. After that, waiting is $5 per 30 minutes. If the flight is cancelled, you move the pickup free of charge.
Where can I get cash and a SIM card at night?
There are ATMs and mobile operator desks in the arrivals hall. Withdrawal fees differ by bank — check the fee on the screen before you confirm.
How do I avoid overpaying for a taxi at night?
Do not accept rides from people who approach you inside the terminal. Use an app with a fixed fare shown before you get in, or a car booked in advance with the price per car agreed in writing. Our price is per car, not per person, and includes luggage, waiting and child seats.
Can I go straight to a resort or another city at night?
| Where to | Best option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Gudauri ski resort | Car straight from the airport | about 2.5 h; the Jvari pass road beyond Gudauri can close after snow — Gudauri itself is usually reachable |
| Kazbegi (Stepantsminda) | Car, or a night in Tbilisi first | the pass closes in heavy snow; daylight arrival is safer in winter |
| Sighnaghi / Kakheti | Car straight from the airport | about 1 h 45 min; the airport is on the Kakheti side of Tbilisi |
| Batumi / Kutaisi | Car or the morning train | long night drive; many travellers sleep in Tbilisi first |
What do I need to enter Georgia?
